I have been meaning to purchase it but forgot the name. I also love that you provided samples that make me want a sweet little child next to me. The poems you chose are delightful to read but Ralph's reminds me of when I tucked my children into bed decades ago.

You're right, it's wonderful--rich and brief and pithy and original. It accomplishes what I really want of a poem (whether written for adults or kids)--helps me see life a little differently. Thanks for this lovely reminder - and Happy New Year!Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-85327558036610874622016-12-31T08:57:43.279-06:002016-12-31T08:57:43.279-06:00I bought two copies of the book for Christmas gift...I bought two copies of the book for Christmas gifts! Ron Koertge's line, "Spider closes her many eyes," made me stop and think. And that's what a good poem does, it makes you think in new ways about things you're already familiar with (or thought you were). Do spiders have eyelids for each eye? If so, do they close sequentially or all at once?
